February 2, 1953 Mr. Herbert C. Cornuelle Executive Office William Volker Charities Fund Post Box 113 Burlingame, California Dear Mr. Cornuelle: President Theobald has asked me to write you regarding the proposed lecture of Professor Baudin sometime this spring at Queens College. Let me say that we are most interested at the opportunity of having this distinguished French scholar on our Campus and appreciate the Volker Fund making it possible. I would, however, like some additional information. (1) When will Professor Baudin be in New York? Does he have a preference as to a date? (2) Can you send me publicity material? (3) Do you wish the Volker Fund to be mentioned in the publicity releases? (4) Would you secure from Professor Baudin an outline of his lecture or a list of the topics he will discuss? This is for publicity. (5) I assume the lecture will be in English. (6) Would you suggest what part of the $500 should be used as an honorarium and what part for such expenses as a dinner, printing and publicity? Thanking you for your generosity and kindness, I am Sincerely yours Mary Earhart Dillon, Chairman Department of Political Science
